Utah yesterday rose in the senate
investigation committee meeting
and declared that the group was

Drop Contempt Case
Washington state legislators
w-ere aroused yesterday when they
discovered they had been duped in
to indorsing a labor dispute bill
to which they were opposed. They
demanded their names be removed
at once.
The bill called for the election

between workers and employers.
The legislators believed they were
signing a bill sponsored by the
governor of the state which called
for a three-man industrial-labor
tribunal.

Advice-Giving
Disease Hits
Senior Classes
By BERNADINE BOWMAN
An epidemic of the advice-giving
disease appears on college camp
uses about this time each year.
From now until commencement
seniors will be told how to obtain
jobs and how to succeed. Dr. Niles
Carpenter, dean of the school of
social work at the University of
Buffalo, is one of the first Samar
itans of the season to offer his
solution for the problem of job
keeping.
Said Dr. Carpenter before 1,000
delegates of the New York Youth
conference recently:
“Don’t forget—your first job is
a continuation of your education.
“Don't follow the crowd—it’s
usually wrong.
“Don't go into a job you don't
like. It won’t like you.
“Don’t oversell yourself to your
self. It’s better to be a first-class
second-class man.
“Don’t try for easy money. It's
uneasy money, often dirty money,
and usually dangerous money."
/ Love You!!
With spring near and the young
man’s fancies on the turning point,
he should take notice of scientific
symptoms described by a Daily
O’Collegian writer:
“The temperature of a chemical
secretion in a gland located near
my heart has been increased sev
eral degrees; it is functioning with
much clatter and clamor and there
is a tickling sensation on the mem
brane that convinces me that you
are the primary cause of this ir
regularity in my living mechan
ism."
In other words, I love you.

Cheating Devices Use hy

Revealed by Pro fessors
W €/■
Ponies Furnish Crutches for Lame
Brains, Put Many Through College,
Ohservant Teachers Declare
By HITBARD KUOKKA
Do students cheat in order to make good grades?
“Clearly, I haven’t lived with my eyes shut for the last few years,”
stated Dr. E. H. Moore, professor of sociology at the University.
“There is no use to deny patent fasts, to stick your head into 'the
sand and to say that cheating does not exist on the campus, because
it does,” declared Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geography and
ireolnew dpDartments. “It does oc- I
11 uuvo
cur on every college campus in the
country.”
That the cheating technique
often supplants the technique of
scholastic study and preparation
can be illustrated by the numerous
methods of making good marks in
examinations without the neces
sary study.
Ponies Big Help
Ponies have put many a lad
through college!
They are little secret devices
containing the information neces
sary for many students to write a
successful examination.
For instance, the Santa Clara
pony consists of a long narrow
strip of thin but strong paper
wound about two matches in such
a. manner that it can be hidden
very easily between the fingers.
When information is desired, the
paper, on which notes have been
written, can be rolled back and
forth from one stick to another by
a mere manipulation by the thumb
and the two fingers.
Other students write their notes
on little cards that quite easily can
be hidden in the palm of one hand.
Perhaps instead of cards, the stu

Cello, Piano Concert
Well Received Tuesday
--
Education is on the move! No longer is it necessary for an Oregon
student to spend his college days in the humdrum surroundings of one
I small town. The present day streamlined system would accommodate
I even a traveling salesman, judging from the number of places classes
i can be, and are, held.
The reason for that rash statement? Mrs. Neil Black (Ruth Hansen,
ex-’30) who has been on the Oregon campus lately, arranging for
| extension courses, is one of those new traveling students. Mrs. Black
Law School Secretary
Married to W. Frazee
At a simple ceremony held in
the parlor of the Eugene Baptist
church, Saturday, Miss Norma
Hustcn, secretary of the law
school, was married to Wilfred

Mrs. Frazee, daughter of Mrs.
Robert S. Huston of Walterville,
was attended by Miss Mary Know

sophomore at Oregon, acted as
best man for his brother.

necessary to secure her degree in
journalism, and one of her subjects
is a sociology course taught by Dr
Martin. Last week Mrs. Black at
tended the class in Klamath Falls
in the evening, and this week will
attend the same class in Eugene.
That in itself, is enough to keep
the average student well satisfied,
but not Mrs. Black. She will at
tend the class again next week in
Portland.
The student has been moving
about campuses and through dif
ferent buildings for many years,
but not for many have they roam
ed across an entire state in search
of education and enlightenment.
This moving of the student is not
the only new frill of 1937, for even
the professors who are ordinarily
regarded as home-body people, not
given to fast travel, living, etc., are
now shuttling about in an attempt
to reach their widely separated
classes. While Mrs. Black will at
tend her class in three different
cities in as many weeks she will
have the same instructor for each.
Dr. R. R. Martin of the sociology
department teaches classes in
these three cities, commuting back
afad forth for each class.

‘Plans’ Santa
Donor of the $200 spent recently
in Chelan county, Washington, was
Isom B. Lamb, Townsend Plan
supervisor in Chelan county. The
money was spent in a one-man

Multnomah Athletic club was play
ed the result was a huge score for
Hill. Multnomah was then about
to have its traditional game with
the University of Washington and
made a, proposition with the grid
iron eleven of Hill. This team was
asked to become members of the
club free of charge wi^i the under
standing that they would help in
the gridiron struggle with Wash
ington.
All members of Multnomah club
were business men and had to
practice in the evenings with the
only building to which they had
access, a riding academy. Here
was Coach Young's first contact
with a sawdust field. He made the
comment that the riding stable3
were then not the well-kept stables
of today and from then a definite
aversion for sawdust fields

With the inauguration of football
university authorities asked him
to coach the sport. Then Oregon
had a natural turf field which was
located east of the Co-op where
Oregon and the YM hub stand to
day. He said, “At Corvallis, our
opponents are going to have a turf
field and I would be ashamed to
let them get ahead of us.” Cal
Young was the first business man
approached on contributing to the
turf field fund.

Campus Sheiks
To Dance at
Crawl Tonight
Campus Clothes ‘Right*
At Bunion Derhv Says
Social Chairman; ZTA
Out Because of Flu
A feminine King Midas will
reign tonight from 6:30 to 7:30
as coed hands reap dimes from
masculine admirers who attend the
AVVS dime crawl in any women’s
living organization, except Zeta
Tau Alpha, barred because of flu.
The money goes to AWS loan fund
for the use of needy students.
Alpha Gamma Delta, because
of a faculty dinner scheduled for
the same hours, will also be unable
to participatae in the crawl.
Phyllis Gardner, chairman, is
urging "circulation" of boys from
house to house. With the Heart
Hop and Mortar Board ball not too
far off, there won’t be a boy who
can afford to stay away, says Miss
Gardner.
Campus Clothes
The clothes problem has been
settled by Isabelle Miller, campus
social chairman, who rides campus
clothes for both men and women.
The purpose of the crawl is to
better acquaint the campus as well
as to collect dimes for AWS, so if
a boy wishes to dance with a girl
whom he does not know, Miss
Miller says in this case it is social
ly correct to introduce himself, if
no mutual friend can be found.
New ‘Stag Line’
The men are asked to observe
the new rule of this year’s crawl
which allows them to take their
dancing partner back to a stag
line after each number. This was
inaugurated to do away with the
embarrassment of leaving to go to
another house, and to make it
easy for a boy to change partners.
Men are charged 10 cents a
house rather than 10 cents a dan'
as stated in yesterday’s Emerald,
with dimes collected at the door.
Men may stay until closing time,
but the custom is to visit as many
houses as possible.

Cook for a Fraternity?
It’s Hard, But More Fun
By WAYNE HARBERT
Mrs. Mary Jane Vaughan is a cook. Not the kind which lives in a
small bungalow and prepares dainty bits for a husband and baby. She
cooks for a fraternity house. It is her duty to prepare food for 40 men
each day. True, these men don't have the appetites of ditch diggers,
steel workers or farm hands, but they make enormous amounts of food
disappear.
The white-haired matron of the kitchen learned how to please the
palates of men in her younger days as she raised eight children of
her own. Yes, Mrs. Vaughan is
no longer a young woman. She
is past 60, but a sample of her
special dishes will convince the
connoisseur of her ability, undim
med by years.
“I've cooked at University of
Oregon sorority and fraternity
houses for the past 10 years,” Mrs.
Vaughan declared as she paused at
her task of slicing potatoes for the
evening meal.
“Cooking is an art this modern
day,” she ventured, admiring o.
string of eight cherry pies cooling
on a nearby shelf. “Years ago, peo
ple looked upon cooks as servants,
as untouchables scarcely the equal
to mingle with ordinary people.
The passing of this warped view
has made it easier for cooks to
look upon their profession as one
wholly as important as the other
arts. I find this modern viewpoint
very marked in cooking for houses
on the campus. Especially the men
are eager to help break down the
antiquated idea,” Mrs. Vaughan
continued.
“Yes, I’ve seen some funny
things since I started cooking,”
she laughed, at the same time put
ting her potatoes on to cook over
the gas jet. “One time I saw a
